Kevin O'Leary has spent half his time in the USA since entering the Conservative leadership race

Does Kevin O'Leary think Conservative party leader is a part-time job?

It looks like the celebrity millionaire has been spending more time attending to personal business in the United States than he's spent campaigning for leader of the Conservative Party of Canada since entering the race last month.

PressProgress reported last year that O'Leary spends most of his time in Boston, a city he's called "home" since the 1990s. And CBC News previously reported O'Leary spent "five or six days of his first week campaigning" in the United States, rather than Canada, after formally kicking off his leadership bid on January 18.

But a new analysis by PressProgress finds that O'Leary has spent at least half his time south of the border during the first month of his leadership campaign between January 18 and February 17.

Meanwhile, during the same timespan, the man who hopes to replace Stephen Harper has been spotted in Canada on fewer than one-third of those days – participating in only a small handful of public events.

Although O'Leary launched his campaign in Toronto on January 18, he was in New York City the next morning to appear on Good Morning America before hightailing it to Florida.

While most Canadians were busy shoveling snow out their driveways, O'Leary was sipping wine on Miami Beach and talking about his Conservative leadership ambitions on American cable news outlets like CNN and CNBC before a backdrop of lazy palm trees.
